An Unwritten Railroad Law.

An unwritten law of railroad travelling, founded on courtesy and sanctioned by custom, per, mitS d passenger who wishes to leave his seat for few minutes to secure 1t till his return by leaving therein a satchel, or Overcoat, or even a cane. Now and then a new conner, whose seltishness is his law, violates this custom by re- moving the sign of occupancy. and placing himself in the seat. An amusing case of this sort of ill. breeding is reported by the Hart ford Times:
 A gentleman had occasion to leave his seat for few moments at a station, and on returning found his overcoat and satchel removed, and his seat taken possession of by a young man and "his best girl"
 The gentleman said to the young man: "I think l am entitled to this seat, as I left articles in it while stepped to the platform for d moment"
 Said the young man: "Posscs- sion is nine points of the law, ant I tmnk we will keep the seat"
 "Then," said the gentleman, will you please rise. that I may get my nmbrellaW
 The yonng man could not refuse this reasonable request, and as he rose from the seat, lhe gentleman slipped into il, much to the amuse- ment of the other passengers.
 The young man then requested his ''best girl to go with him to another seat. In reply she said: "I can't get out"
 "Will you rise" said the young man to the gentleman, "and allow this lady to come Out2'
 "I think not" said the latter. "li possession is nine points of the law, propose to avail myself of the same, and if your friend wishes to vacate his seat, she can step over, or in front"
 She did so without delay. caus- ing more than d smile from those who witnessed the performance.

Where the peach blossoms into beauty and emits it's flavor over the Little Missouri val leys; where the berry nestles in luscious abundance, and the vine, fruit laden, clings to it's support, lies Nevada county, in Arkansas. Your correspondent here this morning met the venerable MT Smoote, who upon being made aware of the fact that a pestifer- ous newspaper man was about, threw up his hands and sounded a signal of distresss.
 "Thcre has already been too. much said about this country by you newspaper fellows. People read it and come down here and are disappointed" he shouted yo' citerously, before word could be gotten in lengthwise or sidewlse, Tnfortunatclv the gentleman was struck at an unhappy moment and the picture which from facts has been painted of this delightful country should not be allowed to br seen in the darkness in which an angry individual would scclude it.
